When I first got the Helix, I took them out for a few rounds not expecting much more than what I experienced with the DNA. Basically, I expected them to be comfortable with solid traction but nothing more that would make me wear them after I had done my testing. Two months later I find myself choosing to wear the Helix nearly every round. Note, I typically have about 7 pairs of quality golf shoes to choose from.
Over the past two months I have played in varying conditions from bone dry to extremely wet. Just this week I played a mountain course in Virginia. We actually had a 45 minute delay while it dumped about 2 inches of rain. Not only were my feet absolutly dry, but I was super impressed with the level of traction both during my swing and navigating the steep terrain. It is hard to quantify traction and stability during a round, but subliminally you can tell. Perhaps it is manifested in a level of confidence. In any case, despite having zero expectations of wearing these shoes more than 5 times, I am on round 15.
If I had to boil it down to the top 5 reasons why the Footboy DNA Helix have become my go to shoe this summer it would be:
Weight: The DNA Helix are super light compared to other tour level shoes.
Comfort: While still not as comfortable to walk in as "sneaker" type of golf shoes, the Helix are absolutly appropriate for walking 18 holes.
Traction, grip and stability: The Footboy Helix, has these qualities in spades. I don't think you will find a shoe that is significantly better in this area.
Quality leather: Along with being waterproof, the DNA Helix leather is really soft making it more flexible when walking than other tour level shoes.
Low heal: I am a fan of shoes with little to no heal which is common in many high end golf shoes. Fortunately, the Helix sits very low to the ground.

Smaller than the Old DNAs
The new DNAs are at least a half size smaller than the old DNAs and toe box seems more rigid. Footbed seems to have a little more cushion.
